Menlo79 CEO Fabian Stöffler argues at railXchange 2026 that rail freight is leaving proven, years-old optimisation and AI tools unused due to conservative habits rather than technical barriers, pointing to real deployments at boxXpress that already prove the payoff.

At railXchange 2026, Instaffo CEO Christoph Zöller argues that AI won't destroy jobs on net but will hand a decisive competitive edge to companies and workers who adopt it fastest, using history's technology waves and the Jevons Paradox to explain why speed, not size, will determine rail freight's winners over the next decade.

At railXchange 2026, Rail-Flow and Menlo79's live AI hackathon had eight teams of rail freight domain experts—with little to no prior AI experience—build four working prototypes in just 150 minutes using Cursor and Figma, proving that the gap between identifying an operational problem and having a testable solution has largely collapsed.

Transformation advisor Jutta dos Santos Miquelino argues at railXchange 2026 that rail's AI transformation stalls not because of technology or budget but because of weak collaboration, trust, and psychological safety—and that fixing this "conscious collaboration" gap, not adopting more tools, is the real strategic lever.

From Ada Lovelace's 1843 algorithm to the facial recognition on your phone this morning – artificial intelligence isn't new, it just finally has the data and computing power to work.

Co-founder Dominik Fürste took the stage to show how Rail-Flow is turning a fragmented industry into a connected, digital marketplace — and why that's good news for the climate.

Rail-Flow won the Partner Pitch at the Transporeon Summit 2025, where Co-CEO Osman Akdemir presented how AI-driven efficiency and end-to-end digitalization can make rail and intermodal transport as easy to access as road transport while cutting CO₂ emissions.

Rail-Flow recaps its presence at transport logistic 2025 in Munich, where customer case studies with European Rail Rent, Rail Cargo Group, and AMEH TRANS showcased its Purchase & Tender Management, Transport Management System, and Rail Offer Management solutions, alongside the launch of its Resource Sharing Broker for locomotive leasing.

Rail-Flow reflects on its time at SITL Paris, where direct conversations with industry professionals sharpened its understanding of the French market and reinforced growing momentum for the company's visibility and product direction.
